FAQ

Questions, answered

Do you take insurance, or is it cash-pay?

This is an out-of-network practice. Payment is collected at the time of service, and I can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement. Reach out if you'd like help understanding your benefits.

Do I need a referral to start?

In New York, you can typically begin physical therapy without a physician's referral. Some insurance plans require one for reimbursement — I'm glad to help you check.

Is pelvic floor PT painful?

It shouldn't be. Treatment is collaborative and goes at your pace. Any internal work is gentle, explained in advance, and only done with your consent — and you can stop at any time.

How many visits will I need?

It depends on your goals and how long symptoms have been present. Many people notice meaningful change within a handful of visits; we'll set realistic expectations together at your evaluation.

How soon after birth can I come in postpartum?

You can start gentle work earlier than you might think, and a thorough check is often recommended around 6 weeks postpartum — but it's never too late. Whether you're weeks or years out, we can help.

Is leaking normal?

Leaking is common — especially postpartum or under heavy load — but common isn't the same as normal, and it's not something you simply have to accept. Most leakage improves significantly with the right plan.

I'm an athlete, not postpartum. Is this for me?

Absolutely. A large part of my practice is orthopedic and performance care for runners, lifters, and athletes — managing leakage under load, pelvic pressure, and hip, back, and core issues that limit training.
